Happy garden dahlias
Mostly cloudy today but we were fortunate to have a sunny spells. It clouded over more towards teatime with some light rain in the evening.
I lifted our garden dahlias in this afternoon. They were all varieties from the “Happy” collection although I’m not at all sure they were very happy at all in this summers dry conditions.
All summer planted out in the garden they haven’t managed to make much more than a decent sized pot plant in size. A couple of the dahlias had made some tubers which were on the rather small size.
This particular root didn’t look to have any tubers at all to store over winter. Our next decision is how to store these plants and tubers over winter.

Spring like
A lovely mild spring like day on Sunday. It was difficult to image it was late autumn. Certainly there were plenty of clouds about especially in the morning but there were some nice sunny spells in the afternoon. On the plot we did a little bit of harvesting and more tidying up.

Goes out like it came in
The last day of October was mild, the month going out on a good note. We had a light southerly breeze, a few sunny spells and with the temperature reaching 16.7°C in the afternoon it was very pleasant.
